"The first week of sales for the soundtrack CD of High School Musical 2 saw 615,000 copies move off the shelves, making it the second-hottest CD of the year, slightly behind the debut of Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight, which moved 623,000 in its debut week, according to Billboard magazine." So LP keeps its record for the biggest first week of 2007 in the U.S. and worldwide theres only one release that could steal the record and (probably will) is 50 Cent/Kanye West simultaneous release later this year
man I hate modern rap, I can listen to some older stuff like Beastie Boys (I know they're not completely hip-hop, they have rock in their music too), but anything about hittin da clubz, hos, bitches, ni**as, and da streetz I can't stand.
Amen to that (literally, as Hands Held High is miles above most modern hip-hop today lol) Good old LP. One of the few artists out there that actually deserve the success they get.
The thought of LP losing to a crappy Disney production like High School Musical just makes me cringe.
